Several 9-alkyl-6-substituted-purines were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) in rats.Most compounds were prepared in three steps from 5-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine or in two steps via alkylation of 6-chloropurine.Potent anticonvulsant activity against MES resided in compounds that contain a benzyl substituent at the 9-position of 6-(methylamino)- or 6-(dimethylamino)purine.Among commonly used agents for control of seizures, this type of structure represents a new class of potent anticonvulsant agents.
